Magic Flute Opera

Welcome to the official website of the Harvard College Opera Society (HCO)!Here you can find treasure troves of information about HCO and our mission to bring opera to the Harvard community and beyond, including our nearly thirty-year history, student membership, past recordings, and recent and upcoming events. Don’t be shy about reaching out to us — we love nothing more than to hear from audience members, prospective students, alumni, and fellow opera lovers of all kinds. Thanks for checking us out, and we sincerely hope to see you at a recital, production, masterclass, or other event in the near future! HCO presents one full-length opera each February with an entirely undergraduate cast and production team. In 2020, HCO presented Mozart’s. During the spring semester each year, HCO’s Board of Operators names the next music and stage directors, in collaboration with whom the next opera is chosen. Auditions for cast and orchestra are held at the beginning of every academic year.Harvard College Opera aims to make opera accessible to our local and campus communities.

Deviates a bit from the opera, but still very nice. I am an elementary music teacher and used this book in combination with the DVD of Mozart: The Magic FLute (Metropolitan Opera) Ying Huang to introduce 2nd graders to opera. As well as the magic flute and magic bells, the three boys also bring Tamino and Papageno food, which Tamino once again steadfastly resists. Even Pamina fails to draw a single word from Tamino’s lips, which she interprets as a rejection. She laments the cooling of Tamino’s love for her.

World mosaics games. HCO provides an invaluable opportunity for undergraduates wishing to engage in opera production and performance. HCO hosts a variety of free events throughout the year, including recitals, masterclasses, opera screenings, and performances in Harvard’s annual ARTS FIRST festival.
